Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards public service answering point (PSAP) call routing issue detection and resolution. A PSAP call routing issue detection tool is disclosed. The PSAP call routing issue detection tool can be configured to identify PSAP call routing problems in a cellular network. The PSAP call routing issue detection tool can present the PSAP call routing problems for further analysis and correction by cellular network engineers. The PSAP call routing issue detection tool can furthermore identify and suggest call routing corrections to address identified PSAP call routing problems. The PSAP call routing issue detection tool can optionally also automatically correct identified PSAP call routing problems according to suggested call routing corrections.
